Dr. Luna Queen

Ch 4: Andrea

I can't believe Noah just asked me.

"Better believe it babe," Noah smirks.

"Wow, did I just say that out loud?"

"Yes, you did," his smirk grows.

I look at the beautiful ring and notice how it represents not only me but Sera and Aqua too, in every way possible.

Aqua: We will finally unite with our mate in every way possible.

Andrea: I thought we already did, as far as shifters go.

Sera: We did as shifters but she means in EVERY way, including.

Aqua: Plus, we know how much this means to you.

Andrea: Did you guys know about this?

Sera: No.

Aqua: Maybe.

Sera: Dammit Aqua, you ALWAYS blurt everything out.

Andrea: Hey! No fighting. I thought we told each other everything.

Sera: We do, but this was a surprise.

Andrea: Fine. You guys are off the hook this time

I clear my gaze to see Noah looking at me adoringly.

"You know even when you are arguing with your other halves, you look adorable," he comments.

"How did you know I was arguing?" I ask.

"Because my little mate, your eyebrows furrowed and I know you better than most, inside and out," he punctuates with a wink.

"Only you can make something so sweet, so perverted and STILL have me swoon," I say, rolling my eyes.

He lets out a soft growl.

"Roll your eyes again, I dare you."

I smirk and back away a little before rolling my eyes and running away, letting him chase after me.

"You asked for it!" he yells behind me and runs after me, trying to catch me.

Physically, we both know I am faster with Sera and Aqua, but he never gives up. I let up a little and let him catch up. I hide behind a tree and eventually he catches up to me and starts his predatory hunt.

He sniffs the air but I made enough twists and turns to confuse his nose. Just when I thought he was going to give up, he disappeared from my train of sight.

Damn, where did he go?

I can't seem to find him after a few minutes and I start to worry. Damn him, I just wanted to play a bit. Did he actually get upset and leave?

OR is he hiding, trying to get me to reveal myself?

I decide to wait 10 more minutes if it is the latter.

It's only been 5 minutes when a pair of arms grabs me and just as I am about to shriek, a hand covers my mouth. The sparks lets me know exactly who the owner is and I lightly bite the hand.

"I hate you," I joke.

"No you don't. You LOVE me and I'm gonna make sure the whole world knows you are mine, both human and shifter alike," he says proudly.

"You're such a dork and maybe I do love you," I whisper lovingly.

Our lips are an inch apart when the phone rings and we both curse before trying to figure out whose phone it is.

"It better not be mine. Everyone knew I was busy tonight so I am going to kill whoever it is," Noah says.

"Well, good thing it's not yours, because it is mine," I say, waving my phone, showing it was Angie on the screen.

I hope she's okay.

I pick up and put the phone to my ear, "Hello?"

No one says anything.

"Angie?"

All of a sudden I hear sobbing on the phone. "Angie? Are you okay? Why are you crying?"

All I hear is an incoherent mess, only being able to make out Jack and break up??

"What do you mean Jack and you broke up?"

"He... he..." more sobbing, "cheated... asshole...liar"

"Oh no he didn't," I say, getting more mad by the second and looking at Noah, who is looking back at me wide-eyed.

"Okay, Angie, sweetie, listen, I will be there in 10 minutes. I want you to go get a glass of water and a bottle of wine and you can tell me because I didn't understand everything you said or you can just vent. Do you hear me?"

"Yeah," she whispers weakly.

I hung up and look at Noah.

Without me saying anything he says, "I got you." We rush back to the car. Goddess, he is so understanding and I love him that much more for that.

"You know if anything she said is true, you're gonna have to find a new beta." I tell him in all seriousness while getting in the passenger seat if the car.

"I know, but I don't think he would do anything like that when he just got a second chance and was so excited about her," he explains and I completely understand. Jack has left his playboy ways since he found out that not only do second chance mates exist but he's got one in the form of my best friend. Noah starts the car and drives off.

"You better be right or he will have hell to pay," I threaten.

Noah grabs my left hand and kisses it.

"Goddess, is it bad that I think mama-bear-mode looks hot as sin on you. It makes me want to take you right here, right now," he expresses as his smoldering eyes take me in.

"Not at all" I purr.

"Soon," he promises.

"Promises, promises," I tease.

"We're here," he announces. He turns to look over at me.

"I think it's best you two spend the night together, as much as I want to take you back home with me. She clearly needs you and I know you haven't spent a lot of time together. Just keep me updated?" he asks.

"Goddess, I love you so much right now. Thank you so much for everything and for understanding. You've earned yourself a special treat," I promise him.

His eyes flash black and he drives out hurriedly. I know he did that so he wouldn't be tempted to take in in the car like I wanted him to.

I go into the familiar building and using my spare key, I enter Angie's loft.
